Chapter 433: University A (Scenario 19)
Summer rainstorms come quickly and go away quickly.
A few days later, the sun became hot again, drying the ground and warming people's hearts.
The bell ringing at the end of the college entrance examination still seems to be ringing in my ears, and a sense of relaxation that everything has settled is filled in the air.
Gu Xi pulled Shen Xiangyang to play games and watch movies, trying to divert his attention, but the expectations and uneasiness about the future deep in their eyes could not be completely concealed.
The score checking day has finally arrived.
Just after midnight, the online inquiry channel was opened.
The lights in the study were as bright as day. Gu Xi and Shen Xiangyang sat side by side at the desk, each facing an open laptop.
The air seemed to freeze, and the only sounds that could be heard were the two people's slightly rapid breathing and the crisp sound of the mouse clicking.
Shen Xiangyang’s fingers trembled as he entered his admission ticket number.
When the number representing the final result popped up, Shen Xiangyang suddenly held his breath and his pupils suddenly dilated.
That was a score far beyond Shen Xiangyang's expectations, and it was significantly higher than the admission score of University A in previous years!
The huge ecstasy swept over Shen Xiangyang in an instant like a tsunami. Shen Xiangyang's eyes became blurred and his brain was buzzing.
“I…I…”
He was so excited that he was incoherent and suddenly turned to look at Gu Xi beside him.
Gu Xi also turned his head.
The expression on his face was extremely wonderful, first shock, then incredible ecstasy, and finally turned into an extremely brilliant smile.
Gu Xi's score was also surprisingly high. Not only did he pass the line, he was even able to get into the most popular major at University A.
"It's done!"
Gu Xi suddenly growled, his voice filled with uncontrollable excitement and trembling. He stood up with a "swish", and the chair legs made a harsh sound as they scratched the floor.
Shen Xiangyang also stood up excitedly. The huge joy hit him, making his eyes hot and almost crying.
A University!
They really did it!
The future that we had repeatedly sketched on draft paper while encouraging each other in countless late nights is finally no longer an unattainable dream!
Just then, the door of the study was gently pushed open.
Gu Zhenting stood at the door at some point. He had obviously just returned from the company, with his suit jacket still draped over his arm.
His expression softened rarely, and his eyes swept across the two dazzling scores on the screen, and then fell on the two teenagers who were so excited that they almost jumped up.
Gu Zhenting didn't smile, but a trace of extremely rare relief flashed across the depths of his eyes.
He nodded, his voice low and calm, with a heavy weight: "Not bad."
Just two words instantly brought Gu Xi and Shen Xiangyang's joy to its peak!
This is the affirmation from Gu Zhenting, like a heavy gold seal, stamping on their efforts.
"dad!"
Gu Xi's voice was filled with unprecedented excitement.
“Uncle Gu!”
Shen Xiangyang also shouted excitedly.
Gu Zhenting looked at them, his eyes lingering on Shen Xiangyang's face for a moment. He said nothing more, but simply added: "Tell me when the admission letter arrives."
After saying that, Gu Zhenting turned and left the study, leaving the two young men immersed in great joy.
"A University! Xiangyang! We are really going to A University!"
Gu Xi couldn't restrain himself any longer, he turned around abruptly and hugged Shen Xiangyang tightly again.
Hearty laughter echoed in the study, carrying with it the youthful vigor that was unique to young people.
Shen Xiangyang was dizzy from Gu Xi's spinning, but he couldn't help laughing.
His laughter was filled with tears, relief, ecstasy, and endless longing for the future.
The sunlight seemed to shine into the room ahead of time, dispelling the last trace of haze.
Shen Xiangyang looked at Gu Xi, at Gu Xi's eyes filled with star-like smiles, and a warm current flowed out from the deepest part of his heart, dispelling all his uneasiness and restraint.
He couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.
A gentle smile spread across the boy's clear eyes, like a spring breeze blowing across the melting lake.
Joyful smiles blossomed on their faces, like two sunflowers quietly blooming in the sun, warm and bright.
Outside the window, the sun was shining brightly, filtering through the huge glass windows and coating the entire living room with a layer of warm gold.
Summer has just begun.
…
The admission letter arrived as promised.
The two crimson envelopes with the ancient emblem of University A printed on them were like two keys leading to the land of dreams, lying quietly on the desk.
Gu Xi picked up the letter that belonged to him and gently stroked the raised lines on it with his fingertips.
Instead of opening it, he turned and walked to the desk and opened the locked drawer at the bottom.
Shen Xiangyang had never seen him open this drawer.
Gu Xi took out the key and turned it gently.
The drawer slid open, revealing no valuables, only two carefully preserved items.
A group photo of the first-year high school class. In the photo, Gu Xi and Shen Xiangyang were standing in the back row, with a few people between them. Shen Xiangyang lowered his head slightly, and his eyes seemed to fall inadvertently on the thin silhouette.
A small bookmark made of a maple leaf, with distinct veins. Inscribed on it, in faded ink, were delicate yet clear words: "Let's get into University A together."
Gu Xi carefully picked up the maple leaf bookmark and walked in front of Shen Xiangyang.
Shen Xiangyang looked at the things in Gu Xi's hand, watched him open the mysterious drawer, and watched him take out those old things that carried the past years and silent protection. His heart seemed to be hit hard by something.
Shen Xiangyang’s eyes instantly turned red.
Gu Xi solemnly placed the maple leaf bookmark next to Shen Xiangyang's admission letter.
A faded bookmark carries the promise they made in their youth, while a brand new admission letter symbolizes the glory they have arrived at together.
The bookmark and the admission letter are placed together, as if they have crossed a long time tunnel and perfectly intersect at this moment.
"Xiangyang."
Gu Xi's voice was low and gentle, with a power that could penetrate time. He stared into Shen Xiangyang's eyes: "Do you still remember when I carved this line of words in my second year of high school?"
Shen Xiangyang looked at the small bookmark and the faded words on it, tears silently sliding down his cheeks.
How could he not remember?
That was the only warm, vague expectation in his gloomy high school years.
"I thought at the time, how great it would be if I could get into University A with you..."
Gu Xi's voice was choked with a barely perceptible sob. He reached out his hand, and with his fingertips, he gently wiped away the tears on Shen Xiangyang's cheek. He said softly, "Now this wish has finally come true. We have been admitted to University A together, and what awaits us is only a brighter and more brilliant future..."
